@fabioromeo If you think #linux will just "work" without ever having to touch the #cli, you are under a misconception. Esp. when it comes to features like fingerprint.

Also saying windows 11 just works "flawlessly" is from your limited perspective. Someone else might say they can't do shit on Windows 11 because everything is locked down, hidden behind multitude of gui windows. Also doing simple tasks like changing your #dns takes how many mouseclicks?

@samurro it took three clicks to install NextDNS: one to download, one to install, one to activate. The same cannot be said about Linux, even using the same software.

And I'm sorry to say, but you may have a limited perspective - the tech guy one. You may need the terminal to do work, so that's why you say people can't do shit thanks to the GUI. I can do everything I need flawlessly, yes, but I'm a graphic designer.

I'd love to use Linux but it is impratical for desktop use. Even when I did coding work I would just use macOS because I had both Unix to quickly spin a LAMP server up, Adobe software to do UI stuff, and a working fingerprint sensor.

Here's a hot take: There is no reason to use Linux as desktop OS if you just want to get things done. Servers and infrastructure has a case, but at home? It's a pain in the ass and only suited to enthusiasts.

#macos #linux #experience #windows

@fabioromeo >I'd love to use Linux
You obviously don't, stop lying to yourself or us. Linux is not for "getting things done". Its a choice for freedom to do with your OS whatever you want, not being imprisoned in what #bigtech makes you think you want/need.

Also funny you install some DNS software exe just to change the DNS server? So much for "getting things done".

@samurro it's funny to read it, I'll give you that. I can do whatever I want, except not being blinded by my screen stuck at maximum brightness, or use my fingerprint reader.

But I think you're right, I don't want to use Linux - I want to use Gnome. Unfortunately I cannot install it on Windows nor macOS. I like it's concepts of interaction better that those, but then I'll be stuck with a core held together by an uncooperative mess of tape and wires.

And about the DNS. I installed it, it's working. It's done. Your point is?

@fabioromeo My point is you are installing some random ass software out of the world wide web and discuss #security topics.

Also by what you describe, I can also just recommend the common propositions like #popos or whatever if you are eager to get a #linux just to use #gnome

Also funny you said you can do whatever you want... but using #gnome is not possible? I can make my #linux behave/look like windows 11 or macos...

@samurro well, it's not some random ass software, it's the software from the company I'm subscribing from. It's as random as an app from the repository.

You got me there, I can't do anything I want. I can kinda make Windows works like gnome thought, with the right software and settings, but I can't be bothered by that - it's faster and simpler to use the out of the box experience.

I guess that's what we have in common here: we both can't do anything we want in both systems. X-D

@fabioromeo In regards to your lastsentence: You are very lazy then. :D No offense.

Also I don't even want to look into why you would need a software installation to change your DNS. I will just asume its some script just changing the required value instead of some spying malware which now monitors you internet traffic.
